I’m
not entirely sure what the story is with Lake Disney, in terms of if there is a
lake somewhere near Disneyland or Disney World and as such Walt Disney used it
to drown kids or whatever… I don’t know.
There is likely a story behind it and one I would like to hear, but it
will have to remain undisclosed at this time as I don’t feel like looking it up
as to turn it into part of this review.
Right
away, Lake Disney comes out with some piano and sounds like The Church to
me. This is strange because I do
believe that there is such a thing as “church piano”, which is kind of like an
organ but mostly just the sound one makes when playing the piano in church
because when I think of churches I think of them and how there isn’t really a
much more standard instrument there. So
don’t be confused by the idea of that and the actual band known as The Church,
okay?
On
some levels, I think of this as being new wave, but the more you listen to it
the easier it becomes to link it closer to post punk, whatever that means
because punk is still alive. It has those hints of Breakfast Club that I
like and in its finer moments channels the sound of the Casio keyboard as
well. Triumphant synth takes us to that
next level and this just all around is a lot of fun wrapped in some
seriousness.
Listening
to Lake Disney for the first time reminds me a lot of the first time that I
heard Illegal Wiretaps. As Illegal
Wiretaps are one of my favorite bands and have so much music out there, it is
only natural for me to hear them in a lot of other artists, but for all of my
time spent listening to them and other music I don’t believe I’ve ever actually
heard something on par with them before now.
Not only does that demonstrate
how truly rare and unique Lake Disney is but also their stellar level of
talent.
